"With 41 million blogs and feeds being searched dynamically, Feedster provides consumers with the best way to leverage the constant flow of information that is being published on the web. Feedster is well-recognized by the technology community as the leading search and syndication engine for dynamic web-published content, including blogs, news and podcasts, and is in the process of expanding this leadership position in newly emerging areas like images and video. As millions of users, publishers and other web-based entities continually generate a vast amount of dynamic content, Feedster provides a comprehensive platform to search and syndicate content that is most relevant and timely." At Movielink, Mr. Goldman was responsible for all strategic initiatives, distribution, consumer products and third-party partnerships for the company, a joint venture among Warner Bros. Studios, Paramount Pictures, Universal Studios, Sony Pictures Entertainment and MGM for the Internet distribution of video content. Under Mr. Goldman's leadership, Movielink became the leading Internet provider of film content, with distribution partners that include Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications, AT&T, and AOL. Prior to Movielink, Mr. Goldman built Broadband Sports into a leading publisher and syndicator of sports content, with a network of syndication partners across satellite, cable and Internet platforms, including DirecTV, Fox Sports, Yahoo!, ESPN, AOL, and eBay. Marco DeMiroz, Chairman of the Board of Feedster, remarked, "Feedster's momentum continues with product innovation and business expansion. Given Tyler's extensive track record in alliance building, content generation and syndication, he is certain to steer this momentum toward a great success."
